Syllabus -

- Sources of ionizing radiation and their use in nuclear medicine for diagnosis and therapy.

- Dosimetry and radiobiology at the cellular level (direct and indirect effects of radiation, deterministic and stochastic effects), the issue of small doses (the effects of small doses on human health).

- Devices of the nuclear medicine - detection and instrumentation, gas detectors, scintillation and semiconductor detectors, scintillation gamma cameras, tomographic systems, multi-detector camera.

- Summary of the parameters of display devices (spatial resolution, sensitivity, homogeneity, contrast, quality control), whole-body imaging, tomographic imaging systems, hybrid systems, SPECT / CT, PET / CT.

- Computer processing of data in nuclear medicine - planar examination:

Types of studies (static, dynamic, gated and whole body), accumulation, processing and display of the scanned data, analog and digital images, image filtering, mathematical image processing - averaging images, background subtraction, functional and parametric images , region of interest, curve processing.

- Computer processing of data in nuclear medicine - tomography examinations:

The reconstruction of data, simple back projection, filtered back projection, filters and their parameters, iterative algorithms, quantitative view, fusion and image registration. Spatial resolution, sensitivity, examples of clinical applications.
